2019 Toyota Passo Moda

The 2019 Toyota Passo Moda (M700A chassis) is a compact 5-door subcompact hatchback co-developed by Toyota and its subsidiary Daihatsu (where it is sold as the Daihatsu Boon). Positioned as the top-tier, stylish variant of the third-generation (M700) Passo lineup, the "Moda" trim substitutes the base model's utilitarian look with a chic, retro-inspired aesthetic featuring ring-shaped Bi-Beam LED headlights, a satin-plated front grille frame, blacked-out A- and B-pillars, and optional two-tone exterior paint schemes with a black roof. Under the hood, the Passo Moda relies on a 1.0-liter 1KR-FE 3-cylinder petrol engine producing 69 PS (68 hp / 51 kW) and 92 Nm of torque. It is paired with a Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) driving either the front wheels (2WD/FF) or all four wheels via a full-time 4WD setup. Designed strictly for urban commuting, the vehicle offers exceptional fuel economy reaching up to 28.0 km/L (~3.57 L/100km) in the Japanese JC08 test cycle, supported by an Eco-Idle stop system. The interior utilizes a bench-style front seat with a dash-mounted gear lever to maximize cabin space, dark seat fabrics with color accents (typically copper/magenta), a push-start ignition, automatic climate control, and a tight 4.6-meter turning radius for effortless city parking.
